Uriangato - 4o Encuentro Internacional de Alfombristas

On September 2019 we were invited at the 4th International Meeting of Ephemeral Art makers, organized by the Association La Octava Noche A.C. of Uriangato, Guanajuato in Mexico. For the fourth time we had the honour to partecipate of their breathtaking tradition in honour of the Holy protector of this city, Sint Michael.  We could  once again enjoy and take part of this wonderfull experience together with Italy, Spain, Germany, Japan, Guatemala and offcourse Mexico!  Uriangato is our second home, and we are lucky enough to call our friends to the outstanding group of artists  with whom me shared this project.

One of the main activities was the making of the carpets to create the surface in which the procession would pass, so we buildt our own carpet. This year we wanted to make a tribute to our friends from Mexico, so we built  a carpet representing a catrina made with marmer powder, a local material! By playing with the white-bloe monochromy we created an outstanding artwork!
